ILL COME BACK TO IT I JUST DON'T HAVE TIME ATM I PROMISE
DNF (sorry, I hate doing that, too.)
Listen. I am not against social media in books. It works in thrillers and it works when used as background. It does not work as a plot device -- it simply becomes impossible to read due to the cringe. The protagonist is very quirky. Like, painfully quirky. The guy is bland. It's all just very sad. The side characters are irritating and seem to be developed too much, which is a weird thing to complain about except they info dump their entire lives in the most irritating manner possible. The writing was also kind of weird. I was just uncomfortable the whole time. There were way too many tropes. You cannot rely on tropes to carry your novel. Also? Is it not a little weird that the mc here is the author of the previous book in the series? Is it not weird to include meta in romance?
Overall, I'm sorry, not for me. I know some people will love it though.

I got maybe 10% through and I just can’t do this anymore, ya know? All Vee does is moan and complain and obsess over this completely bland guy. I actually thought that I would really like this but the movie was honestly so much better.
I dnfed it at around 75% because I actually watched the movie first and throughout the movie all I could think was: 'This cannot possibly not be based on a book.' And that, my friends, is how you know a movie is good, although the book is almost always better. Unless, its the Percy Jackson movies. We don't talk about that.
But I digress. I stopped reading because I am a baby and cannot cope with severe emotional damage like I knew was going to come, so I stopped. Ill probably pick it up some day again. Also, dystopia is not my thing.

DNF at 13% because I keep yelling at the book
